Directional wave measurement at Haifa,Israel, and sediment transport along the Nile littoral cell     

Zev Carmel  Douglas L. Inman  Abraham Golik 《Coastal Engineering》1985,9(1):21-36

Results of three years of directional wave measurement at the Eastern Mediterranean coast of Haifa, Israel are presented. The wave-height and energy-flux distributions reveal a moderately high-energy coast with a bimodal annual cycle.The rate of wave-induced longshore sediment transport is estimated from the directional energy flux distributions. It describes an annual cycle with a maximum northward transport of 75 ± 14 × 10³ m³/month in midwinter and a southward transport of 26 ± 5 × 10³ m³/month in summer. The net annual transport is northward and computed at 110 ± 100 × 10³ m³/yr.We show that a wave-induced transport is sufficient in explaining the apparent transport of sediments in the Nile Littoral Cell, from the Nile Delta source to the Haifa Bay sink.  相似文献   

A community-wide intercomparison exercise for the determination of dissolved iron in seawater     

Andrew R. Bowie  Eric P. Achterberg  Peter L. Croot  Hein J.W. de Baar  Patrick Laan  James W. Moffett  Simon Ussher  Paul J. Worsfold 《Marine Chemistry》2006

The first large-scale international intercomparison of analytical methods for the determination of dissolved iron in seawater was carried out between October 2000 and December 2002. The exercise was conducted as a rigorously “blind” comparison of 7 analytical techniques by 24 international laboratories. The comparison was based on a large volume (700 L), filtered surface seawater sample collected from the South Atlantic Ocean (the “IRONAGES” sample), which was acidified, mixed and bottled at sea. Two 1-L sample bottles were sent to each participant. Integrity and blindness were achieved by having the experiment designed and carried out by a small team, and overseen by an independent data manager. Storage, homogeneity and time-series stability experiments conducted over 2.5 years showed that inter-bottle variability of the IRONAGES sample was good (< 7%), although there was a decrease in iron concentration in the bottles over time (0.8–0.5 nM) before a stable value was observed. This raises questions over the suitability of sample acidification and storage.  相似文献   

Comparison of high spatial resolution trace metal distributions with model simulations for surface waters of the Gulf of Cadiz     

J.M. Beckers  E.P. Achterberg  Ch. Braungardt 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2007,74(4):599

A multidisciplinary study in the Gulf of Cadiz is revisited, using additional diagnostic modelling tools. The dissolved trace metal (Cu, Ni, Zn, Co) distributions in the Gulf of Cadiz are analysed using modelled tracer evolutions, field observations and the concept of tracer ages. This study shows that a significant part of the observed metal distributions can be explained by the metal inputs of three river systems (Guadiana, Rio Tinto and Odiel, Guadalquivir) discharging into the Gulf of Cadiz, while the remainder of the signal is most likely associated with the benthic metal remobilisation along the shelf of this coastal region.  相似文献   

Eta carinae nebulosities in 1963     

Carlos Donzelli  J. L. Sérsic  Adela Abraham 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,174(2):285-289

The purpose of this note is to give further information regarding the positions of some condensations around Carinae in 1963, an epoch not yet considered in the literature. The new information is unable to confirm the deceleration hypothesis of theeir motion.  相似文献

Intermittent chaos in nonlinear wave–wave interactions in space plasmas     

Rodrigo A. Miranda  Erico L. Rempel  Abraham C.-L. Chian  Felix A. Borotto 《Journal of Atmospheric and Solar》2005,67(17-18):1852

There is increasing observational evidence of nonlinear wave–wave interactions in space and astrophysical plasmas. We first review a number of theoretical models of nonlinear wave–wave interactions which our group has developed in the past years. We next describe a nonlinear three-mode truncated model of Alfvén waves, involving resonant interactions of one linearly unstable mode and two linearly damped modes. We construct a bifurcation diagram for this three-wave model and investigate the phenomenon of intermittent chaos. The theoretical results presented in this paper can improve our understanding of intermittent time series frequently observed in space and astrophysical plasmas.  相似文献

Dielectric constants of BeO,MgO, and CaO using the two-terminal method     

M. A. Subramanian  R. D. Shannon  B. H. T. Chai  M. M. Abraham  M. C. Wintersgill 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1989,16(8):741-746

Using fused SiO₂, CaF₂, and SrF₂ samples with accurately known dielectric constants, we have evaluated the accuracy and precision of two-terminal dielectric constant measurements on small single crystals using empirically determined edge corrections. Values of κ′ at 1 MHz of 3.836±0.05 for silica, 6.814±0.07 for CaF₂ and 6.463±0.09 for SrF₂ indicate an accuracy and precision of 1.0–1.5% for samples having areas of 0.05–1.0 cm². Dielectric constants of BeO, MgO, and CaO measured by this technique are: BeO, κ′_a=6.87 and κ′_c=7.74; MgO, κ′= 9.90; and CaO, κ′=11.95 where κ′_a and κ′_c are the dielectric constants parallel to the a and c axes, respectively. Dielectric loss measurements on CaO in vacuum between 5–400 K at 10–10⁵ Hz indicate significant dispersion at temperatures higher than 300 K, but the effect of the losses on the dielectric constant is less than 1% at 1 MHz and 300 K.  相似文献
